Loving your contributions to this thread, Sean. Excellent stuff.
On this: what about trades in crypto between the time of receiving rewards in Steem and cashing out in fiat, if trading/investing in other tokens?
i.e. take Steem, trade over the course of the year for a few dozen other coins before converting some to withdraw in fiat... would precise records need to be kept for every trade in between, and capital gains/losses calculated and paid on each of those single trades, regardless of that it’s still all kept in crypto?
(To my understanding, the answer is YES - though I’m curious as to whether with your insight, there may be any other possibility, and what specific terminology of the protocol you use in the answer.)
